Before purchasing the new cabinets, it is always best to have a custom cabinet design checklist. The list should consist of the dimensions of the room, objectives of storage, cabinet layout, materials, colors, hardware, and budget considerations. This can also assist you in considering certain additional aspects such as pull-out shelves, soft-close drawers, and organizers. Planning properly ensures that no time gets wasted, and you get the desired results in terms of your cabinet design.
